Quick Look at MPEG Streamclip for Video Conversions

I have a few video converters but my main one, the one that gets the job done with no muss or fuss is the beloved (and free) MPEG Streamclip by Squared5. Be ye a Mac users or Windows user it is hard to go wrong with software.

Before installation you do need to have the free QuickTime player installed on your system for the program to function properly.

If you have a camcorder that records in the .mod format and your video editing program does not accept the .mod videos then you need MPEG Streamclip to ease your mind. Convert those suckers in an .avi video and you are good to go.

Here is a quick tutorial by Dad200UK2000 showing how to convert an .mp4 into .avi

In order to reduce the possibility of spy or trojanware always download from the primary web site or a trusted place like Major Geeks.

About Create Video Notebook

My name is Gena Haskett. I usually hang out at Out On The Stoop. This is place to share web video and videoblogging resources. Think of it as a mini-library collection of resources that span across disciplines.

Hopefully this blog is not just How-To or What to Buy but the reasons and best practices on recording and displaying video.

Web video does not just a regurgitation of old television and movies. Web video can be more than traditional media content. There are multiple paths and connections.

This is my notebook of ideas and possibilities.

What you do with them is up to you. Questions and comments you can clickafy me compumavengal AT earthlink Dot net.
